Starts fine, but goes really down

Rating: 4/10 (25 August 2005)

Overall, I left the movie room quite disappointed with this picture. The idea is good, the awakening of the good guy in a desert London is breathtaking... But the problem is that I simply can't believe the disease. I mean, it is not any effort to imagine a tragic illness that can drive the people crazy and spreads so fast that it results in chaos and death. But the attitude and behavior of the infected people is ridiculous. They're supposed not to be able to do almost anything, but they coordinate themselves to attack. Also, they are TRIBAL. Infected people live, sleep and act together, so they can attack the normal ones more easily... this is quite absurd. I couldn't understand why the father and daughter insist on announcing their presence to everyone, infected or not, by lighting on all those Christmas lights... My feelings went from the initial excitement to the final boredom.
